Am I paranoid, it's a 89 should I put an alarm on my bike? Anyone have any suggestions, I have air horns and want them to go off if the bike is messed with. I dont want to spend 300 or 400 dollars, there has to be a simple system.

you can..put a hidden switch in the ignition circuit so jumping the ignition won't start the bike..or a switch on the kick stand that goes off when it's raised..if not switch off first..or a mercury switch like in old thermostats that is set to go off if the bike is raised stand up..all things you can do yourself.

Or...you could do nothing. I have never heard of a Goldwing being stolen, ever. They're too heavy for a couple guys to wheel up into a van or a truck. I suppose you could have people messing with the dials, gadgets and doodads on the bike, but you'd really need a proximity sensor to prevent that.

I don't see it worth the bother really......most issues seem to be with the HDs and crotch rockets.....the wing isn't really part of the target crowd...
All I did was put a fake flashing led light alarm on the dash (with switch for times don't want it flashing).

I have one on my '99 that I purchased from J.C. Whitney. Any auto alarm will work. You will have to install a relay for the air horns to be used. As for "nobody messing with a Goldwing"... That's B.S. Some jerk stole the right side cover from mine while I was parked in a Walmart lot. It cost me $250.00 to replace it! And it only fits on a Goldwing. What does that tell you?
